About World's Finest:

Much has happened for the boys of World's Finest since the release of their last full length album, 33. The new album, Headwaters, runs like a journal of the last few years touring, maintaining relationships, and the tenuous nature of trying to hold it all together. The fun from 33 is still there, but the sound has matured and the themes have gotten more serious. With the help of engineer Justin Phelps (Cake, Galactic, The Mars Volta), World's Finest has finally hit the nail on the head in creating an album that captures their sound and vibe.

Creating what could best be described as Neo-Americana, World's Finest has bridged the gap between ska, Americana, dub and bluegrass. Hailing from all over the country, the band is comprised of five members: Chris Couch (acoustic guitar, vocals), Dan Hurley (electric banjo, vocals), Sean McLean (sax, electric guitar, vocals), Evan Malfer (electric + upright bass), and Mike Apodaca (drums). Even with their very different musical and geographical backgrounds, they have undoubtedly found inspiration in each others' taste, talents, and sensibilities.

Strong songwriting, beautiful vocal harmonies, engaging band interplay and improvisation are only a handful of the many reasons why the band has garnered critical acclaim, and an ever-growing regional and national fan base. About The Quick & Easy Boys:

The Quick & Easy Boys are a power-trio out of Portland, Oregon that creates their own blend of rock and roll. Imagine the Minutemen, the Police, and Band of Gypsies rolled into one. In 2015, the Boys released their 4th album – Follow Us Overboard – this time recorded by renown producer Steve Berlin (Los Lobos, Deer Tick, Jackie Greene, etc.) at Modest Mouse mastermind Isaac Brock’s personal studio. Recent accolades also include being selected as main support for the legendary Funky Meters at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom in Denver, CO, as well as having their song “Señorita” featured on Lewis Black’s “Old Yeller”comedy special. Over the years they’ve opened both locally and nationally for Deer Tick, The Meat Puppets, Turkuaz, Blitzen Trapper, The Thermals, J. Roddy Walston and the Business, Mike Dillon, Orgone, Monophonics, Chuck Meade, The Pimps of Joytime, Fruition, Juno What?!, Southern Culture on the Skids, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, The Bridge, Vince Herman, and more.

Formed in 2005, The Quick & Easy Boys quickly made a name for themselves in Eugene, Oregon before relocating to Portland and becoming a renown nationally touring act. Their shows are an interactive party with electrifying stage antics and profound musical moments as the trio pours out every ounce of their energy, leaving nothing behind. The band has gained the reputation for moving a crowd all-night long whether it a big festival or a tiny watering hole. The core members – - Sean Badders on vocals and bass, Jimmy Russell on vocals and guitar, and Casey Anderson on drums and vocals – have continued to evolve musically… and audiences continue their enthusiastic calling of “Yeah Bud!” at every show.
